Subly

Subly was Emancipor Reese's wife of thirty-one years and the mother of his children.[1] Unlike her husband, Subly was a woman of considerable size.[2] According to Emancipor, her past was "dark, messy and tainted with blood".

Fear of Subly's wrath drove the unemployed Emancipor Reese to rashly accept a job offer from the necromancers, Bauchelain and Korbal Broach. The chance to leave town and get away from his family was an added benefit.[5] When Bauchelain
gazed into Emancipor's mind he thought it peculiar that he could hear Sulby's voice, but find no image.[6]
